Being a Connecting Mother

Moonlight

Adira comes back from the toilet, embarrassed after the incident, especially after learning that Zein realized he was coming months from a stain on his skirt that looks striking.

Adira felt better now moreover the suit Zein gave her also helped a lot she was able to hook the suit on her waist to cover the stain.

Zein gazed towards Adira intensely, which made Adira feel even more embarrassed. So he quickly avoided Zein's sight.

“ This girl is so weird obviously I've been so kind to help her, but her reaction is still. So difficult even to say thank you to the person who has helped ” , annoy Zein in heart.

Adira calls the waiter and orders the food she wants to eat, after the food comes she eats the food while occasionally having a small chat with Lily.

The day ended well at almost 10pm when they returned home.

“ I will take Lily to her room first Mas ” said Adira while holding Lily in her cradle because all the way home Lily was asleep.

If it wasn't Adira who had taken her straight to her room it would have been that the little girl would have woken up again.

“ Hmm ” Reply Zein throbs briefly.

Arriving in Adira's room immediately laid Lily, she slowly kissed Lily's forehead and whispered good-bye.

Adira felt grateful at least the activities she did with Zein went well, Lily was very happy as long as they were on the streets that also made Adira feel happy.

While passing through Nadia's room, Adira still hears the girl practicing. Because the door to her room opened a little Adira could see Nadia who was practicing the script and her acting skills.

Adira smiled with satisfaction at how excited Nadia was to train even though she was approaching her bedtime. Then Adira continued her steps towards Zein's room.

“ Where are you going? ” asked Zein when he saw Adira had entered the room but the girl instead did not directly sleep on the sofa as usual.

“ Hmm..I want to shower first Mas ” replied Adira blushed embarrassed.

Zein immediately fell silent he just remembered that earlier at the Adira restaurant came by the moon. Zein shouldn't have to ask Adira where she's going, of course she'll clean up first. Zein is just as shy as Adira but she tries to cover it up.

Adira closed the bathroom door quickly.

“ Ahhh...” hisses.

He held onto his hot face as he was still embarrassed.

“ Why should I come to the moon while with him? ” rutuk Adira again.

Adira had been in the bathroom for more than half an hour, but she had not shown any signs of going out.

“ She can't possibly fall unconscious in the bathroom? ” said Zein wonders.

Glancing at the clock on the table next to Zein realized this was right at 11 pm so according to the rules all the lights will be extinguished. Including the lights in his own room, because for Zein it's time to rest.

But when he wanted to turn off the lights, he suddenly felt doubtful and worried about how Adira would be if the bathroom was dark.

He paces around in his room waiting for Adira to come out, to knock and ask directly Adira the circumstances and why she has not come out. Zein's sense of prestige was so high he felt that his pride would be hurt if he did that.

Zein glanced back at the clock and now that it was past 15 minutes, Zein felt annoyed that this had made him break his own rules.

He walked quickly towards the bathroom door just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, Adira suddenly appeared after opening that door.

Adira's sudden appearance and the girl's shout also made Zein no less surprised until he took a few steps back.

“ Why are you shouting? ” asks Zein in disbelief to hear Adira's screams.

“ Mas too why is it here all of a sudden? ” Adira asked.

Zein was a little nervous about the question.

“ You don't see now what time it is, you forgot this house rule ” reply Zein ketus.

Adira glanced at the clock.

“ Ahh...sorry Mas I seemed to take too long to shower ”

“ Get to bed I will turn off the lights now ” Zein said.

Adira immediately took a quick step towards the sofa where she used to sleep.

“ I should just turn off the lights from earlier, let me know what it's like to walk in the dark ” Zein still feels annoyed because Adira dared to scream at him earlier.

Adira who heard Zein grumbling like that, felt very strange.

“ Did he get that angry? I'm only a few minutes late. But looking at his temperament surely this could make him angry. Ihh...creepy ” Adira grunts slowly then immediately pull the blanket covering her body.

Adira soon fell asleep in her sleep, while Zein did not even feel the slightest drowsiness coming at her. There was a strange feeling and his mind was lately filled with things about Adira. He felt more often thinking about what the girl was feeling, what she was doing, whether she was feeling okay.

I don't know since when Zein started to feel that it bothers him more and more. He had thought it was a temporary feeling of pity or a feeling of guilt for already punishing the girl so cruelly.

But that was far from Zein's estimation, now not knowing why he was wondering why Adira was moving away from him, why Adira did not dare to look at him. Was the girl scared or traumatized? Zein's been assaulted by all those questions.

If it's just a feeling of pity she shouldn't even care if Adira keeps away from it.

The moonlight entered faintly into that dark room through the window slit. Adira's body was dimly radiated as the right light bounced on her body.

“ What is the full moon now? ” , ask Zein in heart. Feeling that he was unable to sleep, Zein walked closer to the window staring out of the window.

Sure enough that night the moon was shining full, Zein was enjoying the sight. It's not wrong because he's not sleepy.

When he turned around some of the light that initially shone on Adira's body was covered because of Zein who was standing right in front of the window. Now the moonlight only illuminates Adira's face even though it looks faint.

Deg!!

Zein's heart suddenly skipped a beat as she stared closely at Adira's face. Seemed very calm, beautiful eyelashes plus eyelashes like curtains cover another beauty behind it.

“ His eyes are also good ” praise Zein unconsciously imagine if only at that time Adira's eyes open would also look very beautiful.

Staring intensely at Adira who was asleep, Zein wondered where this girl could have skin as white as milk. Like without a stain. Then gradually in his heart came the question of whether the skin would be as soft as it seemed.

“ What I think ” said Zein realized because of his thoughts.
